title: [Massive inferior vena cava thrombosis associated with protein C deficiency. Clinical case].
abstract: Inferior vena cava thrombosis is infrequent and in 30% of cases, the potential cause is an alteration of the natural anticoagulant protein system. We report a 18 years old male with an inferior vena cava thrombosis that was associated to a protein C deficiency. He was successfully treated with an infusion of intravenous streptokinase during 30 hours and intravenous heparin during 10 days, followed by oral anticoagulation therapy.
